So, I'm currently reading On Contradiction, just got done with Chapter 3

And I came across this banger "The dogmatists do not observe this principle; they do not understand that conditions differ in different kinds of revolution and so do not understand that different methods should be used to resolve different contradictions; on the contrary, they invariably adopt what they imagine to be an unalterable formula and arbitrarily apply it everywhere, which only causes setbacks to the revolution or makes a sorry mess of what was originally well done."

Mao Zedong in On Contradiction, Ch. 3, par. 8

Mao Zedong would have completely been against modern-day MLMs and saying stuff like "China is capitalist because they don't do XYZ"
